Conventions

Lengths and positions are generally in machine units (mu): 1 mu = 1/254 in (0.1 mm). As INTEGER16, a position spans −3276.8 to +3276.7 mm.

Rightline attachments generally implement these CiA specifications. Refer to the specification’s document for protocol details.

SpecificationUsed for
CiA 301Object dictionary access by SDO; dynamically mappable PDOs; NMT; heartbeat; EMCY producer; store and restore parameters (0x1010, 0x1011). No device profile: 0x1000 is 0.
CiA 305LSS: node ID and bit rate assignment.
CiA 306EDS files (EDS version 4.0), published on each product’s object dictionary page.

Error codes (bytes 0–1) use a CiA 301 standard code where one fits, otherwise 0xFF00. The manufacturer-specific bytes are laid out the same way on every product:
